[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I give up :)
Ok, message received. Just like parents a 2 year old doesn't translate to parents a 9 year old, parental instincts that work for a 9 year old don't work for a 17 year old.

However, [b]I am a seriously awesome step-mom[/b]. We went shopping for prom suit together (which we paid for ;) ) Just wanted to throw that in there. [/quote]

Yup.  You just keep telling yourself that and maybe some day it will be true.  Fortunately your step-son is almost out of your house and out of your control.  You sound like a piece of work.

Oh my gosh, OP, I hope you are ignoring bitches like this.  You're pondering perfectly reasonable questions that we all struggle with as parents and step-parents alike.  The goal here is for kids eventually to be self-suffiicient, right? And so exploring the question of how much they should be doing for themselves financially, given the typically limited funds that kids have and our desire and ability to provide most of what they need/want, is responsible and appropriate.  It sounds to me like you are providing very generously, and just trying to introduce the concept of financial independence, which should be everyone's goal.  I think  that you are an awesome step-mom.  [/quote]
